Ugandan Vanilla Beans

Vanilla produced in Uganda is incredible. The aroma is earthy with tones of milk-chocolate. The flavor is very bold as these vanilla beans produce a very high amount of vanillin making them perfect for rich desserts and chocolates.

Description

Uganda, known informally as the Pearl of Africa, is an ideal location for vanilla production. Uganda is one of the very few regions with two distinct dry seasons per year. Each dry season allows for a strong vanilla harvest, therefore providing extremely fresh vanilla year round.

Amazing shipping

We haven't had a chance to cook with these yet, but they smell amazing, and the shipping was so fast. We will definitely be using Beanilla again!

Good pricing

by Shauna Shipley on Mar 11, 2015

It's nice to find affordable beans of this quality.

Excellent Quality

by Sybil Coleman on Mar 2, 2015

Upon opening the package I was hit with such a heady aroma that it almost made me jump for joy! Moist, plump and flavorable I have already made a massive amount of vanilla salt and sugar. My creme brulee tasted amazing and I cannot wait to get started on my other pastries!

Looks and smells great!

Exactly as described

by Deitra Jones on Feb 19, 2015

These beans were my first purchase from this company and I bought a package of 10 a few months ago. Shipping was fast and packaging was perfect. Although I have only praises for the flavor a few of the beans were thin on caviar inside. Not sure why or if that's typical for this variety. For the price it's a good value. I have already reordered (a different variety) a month ago and again today so I can sample more varieties. I'm a very happy customer.

Another Wonderful Experience

by Alana Harper on Feb 14, 2015

I had another great experience with Beanilla. The beans smell wonderful! I used them in a Vanilla Bean White Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. It was a big hit! I will continue to use Beanilla for all of my vanilla bean needs.

Love them!

by Sara Ring on Feb 13, 2015

Ugandan vanilla beans are very high quality and oh so good.

Excellent vanilla beans

by Donna Pawl on Feb 11, 2015

My latest purchase of Ugandan Vanilla exceeded my expectations in aroma, size, and amount of caviar. They are currently in use making a batch of Vanilla Rum ...

Love this

by Stephenie Spencer on Feb 8, 2015

So glad there are websites like Beanilla. Great quality beans for a great price, and my package came fast! When I opened it, I knew these people meant business. It was so nicely wrapped. Definitely will buy from them again in the future.

Making vanilla

by Sara on Feb 1, 2015

I purchased these in November and as soon as a got them, I split them and put in vodka. My vanilla has been fermenting since then. My vanilla is done and wonderful. These were great beans!

Good smelling beans

by Barbara Ping Mitchell on Jan 21, 2015

These beans smell really good and while not as juicy as I expected still were not as dry at the Madagascar ones I got in my order. And so split them and put them in Vodka with the Madagascar ones to make vanilla. Will try these some time in Vodka by themselves when I try them again. Vanilla smells good and finally beginning to get darker after around two weeks.

Vanilla Beans

by Monica Dailey on Jan 19, 2015

The beans are great quaility. I would purchase again.

Used for extract

by Patrick Lyons on Jan 15, 2015

Very plump and not dried out

New to Me

by Ethel Powers on Jan 7, 2015

I didn't know there was such a product but am glad to have found it. They smell wonderful and I am steeping a new batch right now.

Simply Awesome

by JD Webb on Dec 27, 2014

My grade B beans came today and I went to work on 12 jars of extract of various varieties from vodka to rum. I have ordered beans from Beanilla several times, and have not been disappointed.

Magnificent Product

by Sybil Coleman on Dec 23, 2014

I have purchased several orders of the Madagascar vanilla beans, both A and B. They made excellent extract and even better gifting. Just on a whim I decided to try the Ugandan vanilla beans.....HOLY SMOKES! They were amazing! Plump, moist and flavorful I was pleasantly surprised, The aroma of the beans alone made me salivate. I cannot wait to try them in my sugar cookies. Superior product and timely shipping means that I will be a life long shopper with Beanilla!

good quality

Great company!

by Debra Zook on Dec 19, 2014

Very fast service!!! Great product.

Elegant flavor

by Mel Espina on Dec 18, 2014

I bought Madagascar, Ugandan and Indonesian beans, and these are elegant in their softer, smoky flavor. I made vanilla extract with them and it gives a off a more smoother aroma and finish. So good!

Great Bean

by Jeffrey Space on Dec 17, 2014

Before Beanilla I didn't even know there were so many varieties of vanilla. I tried theses Ugandan beans for variety and was happy I did. It created a unique flavor profile all its own. You would want to use it in products featuring vanilla as the prominent flavor to gain its full benefit.

Good stuff!

GREAT ALL AROUND

by Richard Glowicki on Dec 10, 2014

Ordered some Madagascar beans last year and was quite pleased at the results of them. Just received an order for some beans from Uganda and can't wait to try them out. Very pleased with shipping never had a problem with product and it is priced perfectly Thanks Beanilla you have friend for life!!!

Excellent

by Katie on Dec 6, 2014

Very happy I chose this bean! Very different from the traditional Madagascar. It made beautiful extract. The packaging kept the beans fresh until I was ready to use them.

Smells great

by Ashley Vandorn on Dec 4, 2014

I'm using these to make a vanilla sugar for coffee and it smells amazing..

My Favorite Beans

by Evie Ulibarri on Nov 25, 2014

I tried several varieties of vanilla beans, and the Ugandan is by far my favorite. The flavor is amazing!

Great deal

by Summer on Nov 24, 2014

Vanilla bean order

by Shawna McDowell on Nov 23, 2014

This was my 2nd order with this company and once again I was very satisfied with the whole process of ordering, delivery and product. I will be ordering again!

Packaging

by Michelle Berg on Nov 21, 2014

I wish the packages were re-sealable. I didn't use all of the beans at one time, so it would have been nice to have a good way to re-seal them. But they smelled amazing and were nice and soft to work with.

Much better pricing

by Kent Roberts on Nov 15, 2014

Best price of the varieties we liked from our sampling.

Ugandan Beans

by Jake Holshue on Oct 20, 2014

Tons of chocolate flavor/aroma. Tons of oils, visually accentuated by the vacuum-sealed packs they were sent in.

Great beans!

by Reinhard Hopperger on Oct 15, 2014

Outstanding flavor. Robust and interesting.

Rich aroma

by Michelle Chan on Oct 11, 2014

These beans have a heady scent of caramel when you open them up. They're slimmer and drier than some other beans, but still have plenty of seeds and fragrance.

great quality beans

by judy kerekes on Oct 3, 2014

super fast shipping great service thank you

Amazing flavor!!

by Christina Gillis on Oct 1, 2014

This is one of my faves so far! Has a very strong vanilla flavor and I love it!!

Soooooooo Good

by Christina on Sep 21, 2014

I bought these beans ( along with several other kinds) because I wanted to try them out and see what the different varieties taste like. I used these Ugandan vanilla beans today in a vanilla cake with vanilla brown butter glaze (from Avery cooks.com) and these beans were DELICIOUS!! Loved them!

Interesting aroma!

by Dru Fenster on Sep 21, 2014

These beans came well packed with fast shipping. Quality was just as advertised. I have added them to some alcohol infusions to make extract and am really looking forward to trying it in baked goods in a couple of months. I also plan to make some vanilla sugar and vanilla salt with these beans. I really appreciated the description of the characteristics of each variety of bean. I would like to see more Extract Grade B beans available in the future. Thanks Beanilla!

Excellent beans

by brian flieg on Mar 19, 2014

We bought a 10 pack of these to make some homemade vanilla extract, along with some Mexican beans (not mixing the two). The cabinet smells amazing, the extract is coming along fine, and we just can't wait to try our extract in some of our recipes. Will definitely buy again.

unique flavor

by Kiana Scott on Mar 12, 2014

I really like this

dont know beans!

by Scott Owens on Mar 7, 2014

Thanks for asking for feedback. Second buy for me. I use them in homebrew porters and stouts. First one was an aged stout with bourbon and Madagascar beans. Aged 6 months it gets rave reviews. I'm learning and your web pages are very helpful. CHEERS!

not my cup of tea

by Dana Stevenson on Mar 6, 2014

I did not enjoy these vanilla beans, so I gifted them to a friend. She loved them and said the smell and taste were awesome!

Fabulous homemade vanilla bourbon extract!

by Dawn Hanby on Dec 16, 2013

I was hoping these would come packaged in a glass vial but it is what it is. I made homemade vanilla extract with bourbon and it is still marinating; however, it is wonderful so far! Our friend we gave it to loves it! Great idea for gift giving :)
